Got up this morning and NO lights in my kitchen!! All of them burned out at the same damn time, and I have no replacements since they are florescent. Yep, some oldtimers still use those things! I'll go buy replacements AFTER the game. Just no time this morning.

Thank you Blue Crew for being the awesome people you are! My Vikings friend had a great time at her first NFL game and was completely blown away by the entire experience - from the tailgating and throughout Gameday.

This is what she posted to the Blue Crew facebook page, in case some of you didn't or can't see it:

"i would like to thank everyone in the blue crew tailgate for making my first nfl experience wonderful! everyone was so kind, considerate and just plain awesome to me! thank you all and i hope you have a wonderful christmas and a most happy new year!!"

I would also like the thank everyone for the kindness shown to my family from Arizona, and esp to my great niece, the Vikes fan! Some I haven't seen in several years, so it was an AWESOME day for me, and very emotional. You all are the BEST Texan family an old "grandma" could ever have!! The bond we all have established over the years is amazing, and so very, very special. I LOVE ya all very much!!
